Which are the boundaries of healthcare and clinical research?
Clinical research involves studies of new drugs and interventions, in which patient subjects, volunteer, to receive a new or standard treatment for a predefined period of time and provide their outcomes for evaluation, under a strict, ethically cleared, protocol process. On the other hand, the healthcare sector provides medical services to patients on regular or acute follow-up visits. Both sectors are facing major disruptions due to the increasing need for several reasons to offer virtual services. And this is where Digital Therapeutic comes in, as the new kid on the block, to promise continuous monitoring of patients and offer digital therapeutics instead of standard therapeutic methods or as an addon.
A patient receiving standard of medical care treatment or a new promising treatment and has his outcomes constantly evaluated, is he not receiving medical care by a healthcare professional? Knowledge and insights coming from evaluation of treatments is becoming a necessity in both sectors and it has given birth to a new DTx era consuming insights to offer treatment.
In the previous editions of the iSprint workshops, we have addressed in #Sprint3 how AI mechanics are applied in the clinical research domain and in #Sprint2 the regulatory challenges of eHealth solutions seen as medical devices for clinical care. This year’s Sprint workshop will focus on how to bridge the silos of Clinical Research & eHealth and the emerging Digital Therapeutics, with a common goal: to offer patient-centric treatments of high efficacy. For this purpose, speakers from the medical and clinical industry, as well as regulators and policy makers will present their views, on how these domains are coming closer together.
